I remember people having such a great time doing the Hustle right in the street, this was a time in New York City that was so carefree & liberating.

[gileygil]

[CyberKatt]

this was the hottest song ever!!!! from dancing at the Copa on the east side, Reflections(later it was the Red Parrot) or when I was dancing at the Hai Club in Germany or the Kumpa Club in the Netherlands this was a hit! now I sing it to that special woman in my life! ......funny how life runs full circle! now stop reading this and get up and dance with the Squirrel!!!

[Futurepast1000]

Yes, being a part-time DJ during the 70s & 80s was fun.

Plenty of great music.

[kint98]

I don't know about Disco making a comeback, HOWEVER we are working on a 1 hour weekly show featuring all the 12 inch uncut original singles produced in the disco era in the '70s and moving into the '80s 12 inch singles as well. If you love the disco era, we will bring back the memories in March of this year 2012. For more information contact kint98.com World Wide Radio at kint98@aol.com for details. We will bring back the '70s and the memories.

[BoydWunder]

Oops! "official", that is. (I typed too fast!)

[BoydWunder]

It's offical. Disco MUST make a comeback!

[mnolivares]

@IFLY7871 Hi, I was one of the top hustle dancers here in San Antonio I learned it from New Yorker-Puerto Ricans who were in the Army, stationed here in SA. I also taught Latin Hustle at Arthur Murray. I was wondering if you read this message, if you can share with me the other 9 songs you picked to as the all time best disco songs. Please email me at mnolivares@aol.com

[mindofclarity]

Beautiful lyrics, great vocals and fantastic, upbeat music with a great message (title)! Disco was always about love, fun, dance and all those things that make us feel good. Exercise, Dance or just lift up your spirits - listen to it more!

[randee53161]

there was no other time in my or life itself was better than disco/club house era!!!!!! i wish we could have disco tour!!hint!!hint!!lol

[aronricardovideo]

Simplemente gracias, Mr. yekomaniac, y feliz de haber vivido la experiencia de esos días.

[726taino]

Listening to this on a great sound system was like having an out of body experience. This music made you soar. You were on the top of the world, no troubles, no worries, just happiness. I miss those days.

[MrTony2575]

I've been all over the world, this is good universal stuff. Growing up in the Bronx gave me the edge.  Nevertheless this was understood all over!

[Diamonique310]

@MrTony2575 I also grew up in the Bronx, 176 and Tremont!

[emtdems]

I can't play my Lp's any more but thank you for bringing back memories.

[slogan505]

very very nice time in life

[backintheday61]

Great tune, And what an Era never to be duplicated again,,How lucky are we to have lived duringt this time

[SoundUniversal64]

Thank you thank you!!!!

I remember this one like yesterday!!!

What a beautiful time to be in NYC. Great hits like this one were being produced at a rapid pace weekly. KTU in da house!

[ricodriv]

another late 70's euro-disco classic,were the dancing was everything ,the clothes,the shoe's & the moves on the dance floor told the real story,not to forget the women or the club's, the starship discovery-1 the inferno ,roseland casa blanca,the spot-lite the 3-10,the paradise garage.  sonny-021

[bullgtor1]

no hiv. no drugs in my group, we were sky high on music and dancing and fine women, the criminal element couldn't dance so they faded away for the most part. the tuff guys were unsuccessful want a bees in our circles watching us get all the hot babes. Great dancing was like an aphrodisiac.

[ricodriv]

it'a true their was no aids ,but kool people (who could dance) never got carded. sonny.-021

[johnny2663]

Listening to this music reminds me of good times.........

[swimcrazed247]

[DancingCarmelite]

I was at Faces on Rush Street in Chicago the first time I heard this song... Blew me away!!!!! And 30+ years later, it still does.

[WILDSTYLENYC]

If you grew up in NYC during these times and you don't like this song you are on crack!

[TheLatishaevans]

frankie d and tony g billy bang tompkins 919

[mrdramirez09]

Good times indeed! I was 19 with my fake ID back in '77. The clubs were jumpin' and the ladies were smokin' hot!

[shrimpy920]

@mrdramirez09 Clubs got goin at 11:00PM

[Vin02155]

My heart and soul was in the late 70's early 80's Disco scene. 30 years later I feel the same.

[brooklynblond11]

One of the best jams ever....what memories this brings to mind

[BruklynG]

AW MAAAAN!!!! Where's the "AND I SUPPOSE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER? No-no-no-no"???? I know, YouTube has a time limit of ten minutes. There are 15 min jams (Superrhyme) that won't have the entire version. At any rate, I have NO problem being in my early 50s, I DO have a problem with EuroDisco not being popular anymore!!! Don Ray, Cerrone, Alec R., Giorgio Moroder, I had this and a LOT of vinyl from the Casablanca label. Club DJs from back-in-the day should go to major cities and set up events!

[truro007]

At 47, I was not old enough to experience the disco scene, but would have loved to have done. Luckily, my hub, who is 52, has introduced me to alot of music from that era I would not have otherwise known about. The 80s scene was just as fun and everyone was smart and we went home reasonably sober and behaved ourselves! I'm glad I witnessed that era. Sadly today, children have no music at all to grow up with apart from the stuff we listened to.

[DameDisco78]

@truro007 Many people behaved in the 70's, we just danced to great music, and brought back partner dancing in the hustle. Romance was high, and, statistically, drug use was probably lower. It's just that the sensational stories always get alot of media stories. The great majority of the kids were conservative and into dancing.

[truro007]

Great track. Always thought it was by Dan Hartman, but obviously not.

[revwalsh]

icruz-I could not have said it better myself! We girls would never think about going out without dresses, heels etc. And the guys in their suits! They actually came up and asked you to dance-not like these days where they just start bunping and grinding on you and the girls dancing barefoot! UGH!! If you can't dance in your shoes-don't wear them. Those indeed were the days and I'm so happy to have been a part of an era perhaps long gone-but not forgotten!

[jcruz345]

I don't know about you but I am proud to be 50 It was the last time a man and a woman danced gracefully together on the dance floor, Guys dressed like guys and women dressed like women! A wonderful time. my favorite part on this record will always be the rumba part. you can do a train and dance the night away! god bless all of you!!!!!!!!

[sjr10011]

Turn it up!!!

[carment1000]

these were the days! what happened to music? People were so beautiful wearing beautiful clothes and dancing till 5 in the morning. You had to be definitely healthy to do that. I did it for many many years and at 58 still look good. I am enjoying music on pandora on smart tv.

[zonastill]

I remember walking down the street blasting this song and having the best time in my life..One of my all time favorites...

[MrJames07111]

Songs like this made you wanna dance, music doesn't do that anymore. The world didn't end in 2000 like people thought, but something did happened.

[Thunderstormwitch]

@IFLY7871 Wow! I'm not happy always about being 54, but I survived long enough to know that in my time I had a ball and music like this provided a wonderful sound track to my youth! My first ventures into a gay bars was washed in this track. Such great fun! This was definitely in my top 10 of disco classics! Very cool!

[alkh3myst]

Thank you yekomaniac for showing that the label PLAINLY shows "Arranged and conducted by Don Ray." Alec Costandinos, Cerrone, and Voyage all routinely took credit for Don Ray's work, just like this one, supposedly by Costandinos. Raymond Donnez, Euro-disco's unsung architect.

[PedroMecardo]

I would destroy the floor at SPATs in Hawaii with this song 1980 then we would run across the street to DASTING and play this song again to cool off to go back to SPATS.

[SuperRorer714]

These were fun days seconals,luds and weed. the fun never ended..

[perfectdivineorder]

Yes FashionSun, this music I had to play because I am in love again and could not find anything that would express my feelings like this song,,,,, and the music OMG>>>>>

dont get to serious man, you are still around to enjoy.........................­PDO

[29sonofgod]

would like that anyone of you who knows about disco music, could post the theme" Christmas Love" by Cold Magic. I would be very thankful. Blessings

[SuperTornado2212]

@IFLY7871 I with you bro! This song takes me back in time!

@CTSELLAS22 Mocking and making fun of others....Get lost!

[SuperTornado2212]

@yekomaniac Thank you for the upload!

I had the LP and danced this song every Friday and Saturday night at the

Othello calle Tanca en San Juan Puerto Rico!

[327imani]

Spadie, Eddie Oj, DJ Squeak and the rest of you'll from Far Rockaway I don't hear you'll.....

[MrDjthomase]

im only 39 (40 in july) but this is one of my fave disco ..no CLASSIC DANCE tracks .. and TGIF and then the Romeo and Juilet cut ( i live for that song ) Casablanca Records was the disco king they had the best acts with the best sound

[czechivan]

fantastic

[IFLY7871]

I'm not always happy being 53 years old till I think back to my long career as a club DJ. I actually still mix house music here in New Jersey... but songs like this have no competition and this is one of the best of the 70's. I actually did a top 10 disco classics list and this was my choice for number 1. Thanks.

[yoyohomey]

@IFLY7871 this was the best song ever

[54jeanmarie]

@IFLY7871

 Any clubs that spin these GREAT beats? I was a DJ in a small (but packed 7 nights a week) club in Albany, NY '75-'77.At 57 still love to be twirled around. Where, please where?

[CTSELLAS22]

@IFLY7871 and you never grew up I am guessing? haha

[LICHBKLYN1]

@IFLY7871 I feel the same way, and BTW, I'm 52. I danced my a** off to this jam. Loved it, still do. Question; Do you by chance have the full 12" version ? I have been searching forever, and can't seem to find it. Oh, LICHBKLYN means Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY. Where I was born, raised, and also served as a male "Candy Striper" (us guys didn't wear pink. We wore gray blazers) for the American Red Cross as a youth volunteer. Stayed with the ARC for 34 years- Disaster Relief.

[ddja57]

@LICHBKLYN1 Yes you could find this song on it's original 12" length version. I did. On E-bay. But you to bid on it. My advice, bid in the last two minutes before the bidding ends. This version that you heard is not the long Lp or disco version. the oringial version is over 17 minutes long.

[180bulldog]

@LICHBKLYN1 or it....hit convert.....then follow the other instructions.....its free and takes about 30 sec.......enjoy

[LICHBKLYN1]

@180bulldog Where do I find convert? I'am so not computer savey. Please advise, and thank you. Help me make this happen, PLZ!

[180bulldog]

@LICHBKLYN1

[DjValentin7]

@IFLY7871 I'm sure you were the shit in 70's not saying you arent now but cheers! DJ's live on!

[shrimpy920]

[FrankiexNYC]

@IFLY7871 I'm with ya, bud!

[mayangod1isback]

@IFLY7871...Great comment...! 

[mnolivares]

@IFLY7871 Hey man I still teach the NY hustle also known as the Latin Hustle, here in San Antonio Texas. I agree with your comment. I was disco kiing here in SA back then. This song was and still is the best of that era. Voyyage, Cerrone, Alec Constandino, Patrick Hernandez, Sylvester, Try me Try me Donna Summer, T-Connection-Disco Magic, Can you give me a list of your best 10. at mnolivares@aol.com. I would like to use it for teaching.

[MrTtrans]

in minneapolis..ill never for get the sun disco and the saloon the hoooest gay bars on hennepin i was 17 but they didnt care because i was gay .what a way to grow up count amagen any thing better to do ill do any thing to go back to 1977.when all my friends were alive mr. aids took them all out but the music makes it seem like their still here .....yaaaaa.Timmie.lee.ps keep dancyng.kids....

[williewill037]

Bravo to Don Ray, the music that he is involved in is always amazing.

[joerodthedude]

Alec R Costandinos was the genius behind all that great music from the 70's

Romeo and Juliet, Synergy, The hunchback of Notre Dame all the music from Cerrone and many more classics. Disco is not gone, it remains embed in todays music but GOD I miss this kind of Music., when you used to dance all night and have fun...

Joe Rod... DJ Junior 517 134th st lives on Forever in my memory...

[techiedis]

Google DISCO's Retreat on jump jump jump on it!

[Pinster56]

December 1977 dacing my ass off at The Mad Hatter Boston, MA. As good as it got....

[supermandisco]

I first got this record at Gramophone Records on Polk St. SF when it just got released. Now album is just wore out from overplay.

[TheFashionSun]

Ah, those were the days. No AIDS, no carding at the door, disco snow on every table. Miami was a blast in those days. I was a teenager and dancing felt like flying. When did life get so... serious??

[robertmarc1]

@TheFashionSun we did have aids..we just didn't know anything about it. Hi.....I agree with you 4 the most part but life is what you make it. But I still really miss those care free days so much. People seem to be so up-tight about what other people think of them, there age, looks.... Have a great day

[FAMMusic]

@TheFashionSun @ IFLY7871 and all other readers. Unfortunately the music business is exactly as the rest of businesses and attidtude in the world. Nothing is good enough anymore and the charms is totally gone. I still produce dance music and started in 1990 but everyday more and more I don't like it anymore :(. Sadly to say but it's not about music and people anymore but only about MONEY! :(

[Soulblackman]

@TheFashionSun When you got older.

[mvst925]

It was usually 1 of 2 songs. Either Last Dance from Donna Summer or Enough Is Enough from Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand. Those were 2 very poplular songs to end the night at the dance clubs.

[lucillecapone]

what was the name of the song that they played at the end of the night at the old time clubs the lyrics where there i go there i go there i go

[726taino]

@lucillecapone

the song your looking for is "Moody mood for love" by King Pleasure.

[wcesjcf]

A lot memories with this beautefull song from the 70´s, dancing all weekend in the discos, i remember in Le Dome, the best disco in Acapulco, let´s do it again.

For the people who like the best 70´s discotheuqe music, i got the got where the people dance.

[brett1051]

I remember recieving this thru Dogs Of War DJ Record Pool in its import form. I was just beginning to get into dance music. I left popular music for classical for almost a decade then this merger of classical jazz RB and soul inspired me.Peace

[jaygreen428]

[pivierone]

One of the very best tunes to dance to back in the day. I was only a teenager when I learned how to dance playing this great song. Amanzing! It brings back so many good memories of my friends, our parties and all the fun we had together.

[Latamika2007]

this was the song to do the hustle to

[shawniem]

I was just a baby in 1977, I was 14 years old, memories.

[boomcc1]

[lapredo3]

Oh yes... I too have this awesome 12" single on vinyl. Purchased on 1978 alone with many other 12" vinyl. Perhaps my most favorite song from "Love and Kisses". Alex R. Contandinos is brilliant!!!

[myboylollipop09]

I bought this album when it first came out over thirty years ago ,and it will remain in my collection until they carry me out. breatheless..

Hey Cagaleano, you can find the vinyl disc @ ebay.

[Leonecon]

It's songs like this that made the Disco era of the mid/late 70's so special and memorable. The crap churned out nowadays doesn't even come close to this!

[mirabal36]

Thank you sounds so good, played it loud today.

[Chele64]

@cagaleano

Carlos, es el Chele Cañas, tengo la cancion, te interesa?

[mirabal36]

The music was great at The Third World, this DJ, would always play sounds like this, we could not even hear at Hollywoods best clubs. We had to tell other DJ about the name of the songs at other clubs. The other clubs had bigger dance floors compared to Third World in Los Angeles,

[mryellowcrown]

@mirabal36 WE REMEMBER THOSE DAYS , LOS ANGELES CA WILSON HS !

[fencersdelight]

The dance floors started to get very crowded, this was a huge hustle hit in NY but it became so crowded everywhere so thats how freestyle took over most couldnot dance the hustle!

[3llerTUBE]

NYC has IT

[boomcc1]

@DrBryanCronin u did'nt have it before larry levan at the paridise garage , jeeesh i missed those days, i tell ya i thank god for utube we can still go alllllllllll the way back and listen to these great classics
